Functions and characteristics

Micrologic control units

Overview of functions

All Masterpact circuit breakers are equipped with a Micrologic control unit that can be changed on site. Control units are designed to protect Power circuits and loads. Alarms may be programmed for remote indications. Measurements of current, voltage, frequency, power and power quality optimise continuity of service and energy management.

Dependability
Integration of protection functions in an ASIC electronic component used in all Micrologic control units guarantees a high degree of reliability and immunity to conducted or radiated disturbances. On Micrologic A, P and H control units, advanced functions are managed by an independent microprocessor.

Accessories
Certain functions require the addition of Micrologic control unit accessories, described on page A-20. The rules governing the various possible combinations can be found in the documentation accessible via the Products and services menu of the www.schneider-electric.com web site.

Functions and characteristics

Micrologic control units

Micrologic A ammeter

Micrologic A control units protect power circuits. They also offer measurements, display, communication and current maximeters. Version 6 provides earth-fault protection, version 7 provides earth-leakage protection.

"Ammeter" measurements
Micrologic A control units measure the true (rms) value of currents. They provide continuous current measurements from 0.2 to 20 In and are accurate to within 1.5 % (including the sensors). A digital LCD screen continuously displays the most heavily loaded phase (Imax) or displays the I1, I2, I3, IN, Ig,In, stored-current (maximeter) and setting values by successively pressing the navigation button. The optional external power supply makes it possible to display currents < 20 % In. Below 0.05 In, measurements are not significant. Between 0.05 and 0.2 In, accuracy is to within 0.5 % In + 1.5 % of the reading.

E46028

Communication option
In conjunction with the COM communication option, the control unit transmits the following: b settings b all ammeter measurements b tripping causes b maximeter readings.

Protection
Protection thresholds and delays are set using the adjustment dials. Overload protection True rms long-time protection. Thermal memory: thermal image before and after tripping. Setting accuracy may be enhanced by limiting the setting range using a different long-time rating plug. Overload protection can be cancelled using a specific LT rating plug "Off". Short-circuit protection Short-time (rms) and instantaneous protection. Selection of I2t type (ON or OFF) for short-time delay. Earth-fault protection Residual or source ground return earth fault protection. Selection of I2t type (ON or OFF) for delay. Residual earth-leakage protection (Vigi). Operation without an external power supply. q Protected against nuisance tripping. k DC-component withstand class A up to 10 A. Neutral protection On three-pole circuit breakers, neutral protection is not possible. On four-pole circuit breakers, neutral protection may be set using a three-position switch: neutral unprotected (4P 3d), neutral protection at 0.5 Ir (4P 3d + N/2), neutral protection at Ir (4P 4d). Zone selective interlocking (ZSI) A ZSI terminal block may be used to interconnect a number of control units to provide total discrimination for short-time and earth-fault protection, without a delay before tripping.

Overload alarm
A yellow alarm LED goes on when the current exceeds the long-time trip threshold.
1 long-time threshold and tripping delay 2 overload alarm (LED) at 1,125 Ir 3 short-time pick-up and tripping delay 4 instantaneous pick-up 5 earth-leakage or earth-fault pick-up and tripping delay 6 earth-leakage or earth-fault test button 7 long-time rating plug screw 8 test connector 9 lamp test, reset and battery test 10 indication of tripping cause 11 digital display 12 three-phase bargraph and ammeter 13 navigation buttons

Fault indications
LEDs indicate the type of fault: b overload (long-time protection Ir) b short-circuit (short-time Isd or instantaneous li protection) b earth fault or earth leakage (Ig or In) b internal fault (Ap). Battery power The fault indication LEDs remain on until the test/reset button is pressed. Under normal operating conditions, the battery supplying the LEDs has a service life of approximately 10 years.

Test
A mini test kit or a portable test kit may be connected to the test connector on the front to check circuit-breaker operation. For Micrologic 6.0 A and 7.0 A control units, the operation of earth-fault or earth-leakage protection can be checked by pressing the test button located above the test connector.

Note: Micrologic A control units come with a transparent leadseal cover as standard.

Two solutions are available for remote operation of Masterpact devices: b a point-to-point solution b a bus solution with the COM communication option.

The remote ON / OFF function is used to remotely open and close the circuit breaker. It is made up of: b an electric motor MCH equipped with a springs charged limit switch contact CH b two voltage releases: v a closing release XF v an opening release MX. Optionally, other functions may be added: b a ready to close contact PF b an electrical closing pushbutton BPFE b remote RES following a fault. A remote-operation function is generally combined with: b device ON / OFF indication OF b fault-trip indication SDE.

DB111783

Note: an opening order always takes priority over a closing order. If opening and closing orders occur simultaneously, the mechanism discharges without any movement of the main contacts. The circuit breaker remains in the open position (OFF). In the event of maintained opening and closing orders, the standard mechanism provides an anti-pumping function by blocking the main contacts in open position. Anti-pumping function. After fault tripping or intentional opening using the manual or electrical controls, the closing order must first be discontinued, then reactivated to close the circuit breaker. When the automatic reset after fault trip (RAR) option is installed, to avoid pumping following a fault trip, the automatic control system must take into account the information supplied by the circuit breaker before issuing a new closing order or blocking the circuit breaker in the open position (information on the type of fault, e.g. overload, short-time fault, earth fault, earth leakage, short-circuit, etc.).

Wiring diagram of a bus-type remote ON / OFF function

DB101165

Note: MX communicating releases are of the impulse type only and cannot be used to lock a circuit breaker in OFF position. For locking in OFF position, use the remote tripping function (2nd MX or MN). When MX or XF communicating releases are used, the third wire (C3, A3) must be connected even if the communication module is not installed. When the control voltage (C3-C1 or A3-A1) is applied to the MX or XF releases, it is necessary to wait 1.5 seconds before issuing an order. Consequently, it is advised to use standard MX or XF releases for applications such as source-changeover systems.
